Quincy Rose Davis (born May 18, 1995) is a surfer born in Montauk, New York.

Early years

Davis was born in Montauk, New York. She started surfing when she was seven years old.(Some of her relatives are the Guido's, D'Onofrio's, Schaefer's, and Franza's) With the shore as her backyard, Davis spent long summer days at the beach with her family who were always surfing. After becoming bored of swimming and running around she decided to give surfing a try.[1]

Davis started attending local surf events with older friends and would sometimes compete herself, but always against the boys because there weren't any other girls in her age division. Her amateur career started when she came home with trophies and her mother decided to enter her into more events. Davis credits her family and friends for her constant surfing inspiration and support. Her family has a home in Rincon, Puerto Rico where they spend their winters.[2]

Davis has passions outside of the surf world that include music, Christmas movies and fashion. In 2013, Davis collaborated with her sponsor Volcom, inspiring and designing a clothing collection for Spring and Fall.
